Finding Family: Lynn’s Story

September 13th, 2011

Lynn O. is a new friend of ours. She enjoys the pace of her life in Hawaii, and never gave a second thought to online services like people searches and reverse lookups. That is until she suddenly needed to locate her sister-in-law.

At first she wasn’t sure where to start. Lynn knew about public records websites, but was hesitant to try one. She decided to give it a shot, and visited PeopleFinders.com.

Quick Success

Lynn tried a search and was instantly rewarded with a few phone numbers. She didn’t know if this was the information she needed, so she tried calling the first numbers on her list.

It only took two calls. After dialing the second set of digits, Lynn found herself on the phone with her sister-in-law. Though she admits to being surprised, she was excited to discover that it really works. Lynn found the right person, right away. This gave her an idea.

Spreading The News

The next call Lynn made was to her cousin. Lynn’s cousin hadn’t seen her own father in many years. Now, Lynn thought, they may finally have a way to find him. First Lynn explained how she located her sister-in-law; then she invited her cousin over.

When her cousin arrived, Lynn jumped into action. She used PeopleFinders to try another people search. The two women found several numbers and started making phone calls looking for the long-lost father. Their efforts quickly paid off. Lynn’s cousin was thrilled to hear her father’s voice on the phone. A reunion would soon be in the works.

It Just Gets Better

The next morning, Lynn and her cousin received another surprise. They left a few voicemail messages during their people searching adventure. A man returned one of their calls. He quickly identified himself as a half-brother to Lynn’s cousin. Then he told her she has another half-brother and a half-sister.

The fun continued as Lynn and her cousin were reunited via phone with their aunt. It was an emotional day for both women. In just a few hours they found and connected with family members they hadn’t seen in decades, and were introduced to relatives they never knew existed.
